Introduction
Postcolonial literature is a genre that emerged in the 20th century as a response to the lasting effects of colonialism on the colonized peoples and nations. The Caribbean, in particular, has been a rich source of postcolonial literature, with authors grappling with issues of identity, culture, and power in the aftermath of colonial rule. This project aims to explore the theme of postcolonial identity in Caribbean literature, examining how Caribbean authors have represented and resisted the imposition of colonial identities on their people.
